I have instinctually thought I could do things in my life, and I followed that up by sometimes putting everything I have at risk - my money, my house - to make a movie.

I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day.

I've always been distracted when somebody is coming after me and saying, "You're the only person who can play this part."

When you draw a western correctly, you create such drama, such dilemma that you think you almost don't want to admit who you might have been.

I've always felt that failure was a completely underrated experience.

Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.
